"Super iron!"
"Thump!"
Rhyperior grinned after seeing Ursaring fall, and was about to raise his arms to celebrate the victory. His head felt dizzy and the next second he fell to the ground and lost the ability to fight.
"Rhyperior and Ursaring lost their ability to fight at the same time. This match was won by Twinleaf Town's challenger Hanyu Yun."
After observing the status of Pokémon, the referee confirmed that it was correct and began to announce the result of the battle.
"Yeah! Xiaoyun wins."
Dawn excitedly held up the latte art and jumped up on the spot, looking as happy as if she was the victor.
"Come back, Rhyperior."
Roark gave a helpless smile and took back Rhyperior, who had lost his ability to fight. He expected Xiaoyun to win, which showed that his vision was not wrong. But he was a little disappointed when he really failed.
"Thank you so much for your hard work. You have done a great job Big Bear."
Xiaoyun said softly to Poké Ball. He was very satisfied with Ursaring's battle today. Being able to tie with Roark's Rhyperior is enough to prove its excellence. It is indeed a bug bear.
"Xiaoyun Congratulations, this is Gym Badge, Coal Badge of Oreburgh Gym."
Roark walked up to Xiaoyun and celebrated, then reached out and took out Badge from his pocket and handed it over.
"Is this Coal Badge!"
Xiaoyun took the Badge handed over by Roark and looked at it carefully. The frame was made of metal, the background color was gray-yellow representing rocks, and there was a hexagonal pattern in the middle. It felt thick when held in the hand.
"Haha, in addition to Badge, I also have another Present to give you." Roark said with a smile.
"Present, what is Present?"
Xiaoyun asked curiously, thinking that TM would not be given away like Rock Climb or Rock Blast in the game.
"This thing is called Hard Stone. Rock-type Pokémon can increase the power by 20% when using Rock-type moves. It can be given to Aerodactyl for use."
Roark didn't show off, and asked the staff to bring over a small box containing a dark gray stone. After introducing its function to Xiaoyun, he handed it over to Xiaoyun.
"Roark Brother, I can't accept no reward for no merit."
Xiaoyun naturally knows about this thing. His Sceptile is equipped with a Miracle Seed that can increase the power of Grass-type by 20%. It was given to him by Professor Rowan.
This kind of thing is sold in elf stores, but the price is a bit more expensive. One piece costs about 50,000 Pokémon League Coin, and the quality only increases the power by 10%.
After all, an ordinary TM costs about two to three thousand Pokémon League Coin, and a more advanced TM costs about five or six thousand Pokémon League Coin.
The quality of Hard Stone like Roark is already very good, and it is estimated that it can be sold for 200,000 Pokémon League Coin. He is thin-skinned and is indeed a little embarrassed to accept it.
Aerodactyl: Are you thin-skinned? I'm confused again...
"You're welcome. For an ore enthusiast, this thing is not as precious as you think. It can be considered as a reward for passing my additional assessment."
Roark knew he would refuse, so he smiled and talked about the origin of Hard Stone, but he was not wrong. Hard Stone was indeed not very precious to him. If Roark liked to pay attention to Kalos's information, he would know that he still had Mega Evolution Stone in his collection, but he didn't know it himself.
Hoenn, the former champion Steven who later shared his hobby, found that he had collected so many Mega Evolution Stone unintentionally that when he saw potential newcomers, he couldn't help but turn into a grandpa and give them away for free. For example, Sawyer's Sceptile Evolution Stone was funded by Steven.
"In that case, I will accept it. Thank you very much, brother Roark."
Xiaoyun did not refuse when he heard what the other party said. He stretched out his hands to take the box handed over by the other party and bowed to thank him.
"You're welcome. I'd love it if I could help you. I hope you can win Pokémon League Conference. I'm very optimistic about you."
Roark said gently after seeing that Xiaoyun no longer refused. He was indeed very optimistic about Xiaoyun. He felt that Xiaoyun was slightly better than the indifferent boy who came to challenge him a few days ago.
"I will. I won't let anyone else take such a beautiful trophy."
Xiaoyun At this time, I am no longer humble anymore. Being humble occasionally is okay, but being humble all the time is a bit pretentious, and I reveal my goals generously.
"Haha, you are so immodest. Yes, it's good to have confidence. You can only take it if you dare to think!"
Xiaoyun's speech made Roark stunned for a moment, and then he happily reached out and patted Xiaoyun's shoulder to show encouragement.
"Then let's say goodbye to brother Roark. We will go to the next town tomorrow. Let me say goodbye to you first."
As they talked, they arrived at the door of the gym, and Xiaoyun and the two were ready to say goodbye to Roark.
"That's right, then your next gym should be Eterna Gym."
Then Roark thought of Gardenia, the woman who was extremely crazy about Grass-type Pokémon. In his opinion, when she saw Grass-type Pokémon, that woman was even more excited than he was when digging holes.
"Yes, but we have to go to Floaroma Town first. I heard that Pokémon Contest will be held there, so we have to go there first."
Xiaoyun did not hide anything from Roark, he nodded and answered truthfully.
"Dawn wants to challenge Grand Festival. Not bad, not bad. The two of us will make progress together."
Roark looked at the two of them, and then the corners of his mouth began to rise, and he said in a teasing tone, feeling like he was eating something online.
"Then brother Roark, let's leave first. We'll meet again when we have a chance."
"Goodbye, Mr. Roark."
Faced with Roark's gossip, Xiaoyun responded with a few words, then pulled Dawn, who was blushing next to him, to bow to him, and moved away quickly.
"It's not okay to be too shy."
Roark looked at Xiaoyun's hurried back, shook his head with emotion, and then murmured, "Eterna Gym, why don't you say hello to that woman Gardenia in advance?"
"Forget it, let her feel it for herself. There will be no challengers, so I can mine happily again. It's a wonderful day."
Pokémon Center.
"Sorry to trouble you, Nurse Joy."
Xiaoyun and Dawn returned to Pokémon Center and handed Poké Ball to Nurse Joy.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Nurse Joy took Poké Ball and said with a gentle tone as always with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Xiaoyun, did you just come back from outside?"
Ash and Brock also came in from the hall at this time and said hello after seeing Xiaoyun.
"Isn't this Ash? How do you know I just won Coal Badge?"
Xiaoyun's eyes lit up when he saw Ash coming, and he answered Ash's question in a "plain" tone.
I don't know why, but after he answered, he felt a lot more enlightened. He felt as happy as drinking Ice Cream in summer.
Ash:"..."
